She washes me and sings to me cucaracha Almost every night of my life She sings to me the French version of Frère Jacques But forgets to teach me how to sing to her Wash this brown out of us It’s the only way we’ll make it If you say it’s cuz you’re lazy You lie Thank you for a better life I don’t mean to be ungrateful You took us from the Valley you tried You could have dumped us in the river Crying all the time You could have been a legend Instead you went inside Dejame sola, como moleste I am tired, let me rest Some say Apache, some say Comanche No me recuerdo, dejame I could have been a martyr Dying and in pain I could have made you holy Instead I gave you shame Wash this brown out of us It’s the only way we’ll make it If you say it’s for the better You deny Thank you for the lessons I don’t guess I’d change a moment I don’t blame you but I wish that you’d a tried Oooh Wash this brown out of us It’s the only way we’ll make it If you say it’s cuz you’re lazy You lie Thank you for a better life I don’t mean to be ungrateful You took us from the Valley you tried Cucaracha cucaracha Cucaracha cucaracha Ay ay ay ay She washes me and sings to me cucaracha Almost every night of my life

Song for Bridgid 03:36

Walkin around tryin' to live your life like everything's normal and everything's right and it doesn't matter if it's dark or light and everything doesn't get quiet at night Afraid to remember, afraid to forget You think there's a wrong way or right way to feel it You'd leave your heart open but you think you might spill it Cousin I've been there before It's hard to imagine there's anything else or anything more Do I do this for you, do I do it for me I suppose you're a mirror and I guess I will see all that lies underneath all the lies I believe What would you say if I promised again that this hell's not forever, yes I'm sure it will end They say it's eternal, but they say that in fear If they said it in love, would it all disappear Cousin I've been there before I said it in love then I laughed at myself 'til I cried to my core And I'm here to tell you there's more So you do what you will honey please understand that the water was froze but the river still ran So open your hear when you can I know you'll open your heart when you can

Which came first, the dog or the fool, the wedding or the funeral Why should I care whatever we do let's have a rite a ritual Jump off a bridge or over a broom I don't mean to minimize but I'm coming with you I'd trade it all in and I'd come back for more I've never been stupid like this before Free My brother he tells me I'm free What a word for lack of maturity Why should I care what my people think let's have a rite a blood letting Don't throw the baby out with the bath my sister keeps telling me but does she realize that I'd follow you close and I'd wait at the door I've never been loyal like this before You tell me to trust in you please My real pop said the same thing to me Why should I care about my history let's have a rite a lobotomy I dreamed I was chasing the way to your soul but my words escaped me on a fork in the road and when the dust cleared there you stood and I swore I've never been humble like this before Free

My Cup Is Empty 05:44

Tonight I think I’ll have a drink without calling anyone that I know I think I’ll look outside the window and remember everything The city smells afraid and sad, the light is coming back I remember when the veil was thin and everyone was leaving I made a promise to myself I don’t remember what it was, but I think I broke it Because your shoes are on the closet floor and the shoeshine’s in the dresser drawer And I hold my pillow like you were mine And I wander ‘round And I wonder why my cup is empty now and I I think I’ll have a drink Maybe sweet maybe I can close my eyes If someone’s trying to save me, oh lord I wouldn’t waste my time Cause I’m not coming home to you and you don’t take my kind You just keep moving on to better things and I’ll stay here Because your shoes are on the closet floor and the shoeshine’s in the dresser drawer And I hold my pillow And I wander ‘round And I wonder why my cup is empty now Tonight I think I’ll have a drink without calling anyone that I know I think I’ll look outside the window and remember everything The city smells afraid and sad, the light is coming back I remember when the veil was thin and everyone was leaving I made a promise to myself I don’t remember what it was, but I think I broke it Because your shoes are on the closet floor and the shoeshine’s in the dresser drawer And I hold my pillow like you were mine And I wander ‘round And I wonder why my cup is empty now And I

Sleeping under the guillotine, sleeping on the stretch rack Sleeping in the car Sleeping at the bar Sleeping on the job Sleeping on the job Sleeping on the job Sleeping on the job Can you think of something better for me to do? Can you think of something better for me to do? Well I obsess, yes I’m obsessed about that boy and you, oh god I wake up cut and sore and think of you some more, oh god I’m a boy, yes I’m a toy Wind me up and watch me go Stick a needle in my eye, stick a needle in my thigh Watch me grow, watch me grow Watch me grow, watch me grow Watch me grow, watch me grow Watch me grow, watch me grow Watch hoo yeah Can you think of something better for me to do? Can you think of something better for me to do? Trade me in six feet under Trade me in don’t steel my thunder Trade me in and watch me go Watch me go Watch me go, watch me go Watch me go, watch me go Watch me go, watch me go Watch me go, watch me go Watch me Can you think of something better for me to do? Can you think of something better for me to do?

I’m trying to open up to some kind of love where angel wings and razors teach me how to stay You are so beautiful that I forget your name sometimes and that can’t be good so I keep coming back to my heart I gave you away like you were mine to give cause I know how to live without you But the pain of too much tenderness is what I crave with us to laugh all of our laughs and cry all of our tears And that’s what I get it’s not over yet and maybe we’re just starting and maybe that’s my fear cause I know how to live without you here I’m trying to open up to some kind of love where crashing into mirrors scattered shards teach me how to stay He is so beautiful that I forget my prayers sometimes and that can’t be good so I keep coming back to my heart I gave you away like you were mine to give cause I know how to live without you But the pain of too much tenderness is what I crave with us to laugh all of our laughs and cry all of our tears And that’s what I get it’s not over yet and maybe we’re just starting and maybe that’s my fear cause I know how to live without you here

I tried to write a pretty song for my lady I tried to write a pretty song for you but damn it all to hell you make me happy See I may only know myself a sad song I sing to only those who make me cry Oh you make me smile Oh what can I do The sweetest thing I ever knew is being known and loved by you I've followed some I've tried to make some better I've pleaded with some see me as I am I've hung around some cold and nasty weather huddled in and sat upon my hands Five feet up and down and I was thankful Oh but I only dreamed of this quietly tossed and turned silently missed And I don't fool myself, we'll make each other cry everybody loves and everybody fights We don't waste our time wondering why everybody lives and everybody dies The sweetest thing I ever knew is being known and loved by you Oh loved by you
